I've seen moving water in SL at a lot of places, but have yet to figure out how its done. Can you upload animated textures? does .tga support that or is it done differently.

I'm building myself a fish tank for my house and would like a very gentle rippling water texture and have seen other fishtanks for sale that manage this, but have yet to find a moving water texture for sale.

Does anyone know where I can buy one from or how I go about making my own moving textures.

This is done by placing a script in the contents of the prim with the water texture. Look in your inventory library under scripts. The one called anim SMOOTH will make your water texture move.

See http://www.lslwiki.com/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSetTextureAnim for info on how to tinker with the settings in the script.
